1. Lassus Posted: September 29, 2022 at 11:19 PM (#6098418)Rookie Vientos has some pop but has struggled in a Sept audition. maybe we have "The Natural" here.....
Nido has been shockingly respectable hitting in the past month, and even McCann has fogged a mirror at times. both know what they are doing defensively, and a 20-year-old kid ain't catching the Mets vets SPs in the postseason unless he is utterly raking - and maybe not even then.
I think you mean Francisco Pena.
That's what I thought too....hope he doesn't go 0 for the week and then have trouble shaking it off next year....we could be looking at another Rick Ankle situation. (knock on wood)
While I’m here, I might as well stake a claim for Alvarez’s nickname. The Franchisco? Eh.
Nido has been more than respectable in September: 333/340/563 and 290/319/449 in the second half. For all my whining at the trade deadline, catcher hasn’t been too bad and probably wouldn’t have gotten much of an upgrade to this point (McCann is still sub-500 OPS).
I can still complain about not just letting JD Davis keep the DH spot though. He’s been good for 289/386/544 since traded and now has his season OPS+ at 121, within his career norms. Mets have not gotten good results out of their hydra there, some might call it pretty Ruf. I know it’s shocking that the hitter with the best career out of the bunch performed the best, but who doesn’t like pointless reshuffling trades so you appear to be doing something?
That's what I thought too....hope he doesn't go 0 for the week and then have trouble shaking it off next year....we could be looking at another Rick Ankle situation. (knock on wood)
If you were going to do this, why didn't they bring him up a few games earlier to at least get his feet wet before the big showdown on hostile turf?
From MLB Trade Rumors:
This sort of thing used to happen "all the time" before teams got fixated on delaying service time. With the new rules, there's not much point in the Mets holding him back until next season.
Only if you make the injury replacement during a postseason series. So a pitcher who gets hurt in game 1 of a series could only be replaced by a pitcher for game 2 (and the injured pitcher would have to sit out the following series too).
But before the postseason or between series, Alvarez could take the postseason eligible spot of any injured player or pitcher.
Yes.
the Mets best Ps are age 37, 34, 33, 29, 35 and 28, 36, 32. no 'day care' seems likely.
he hit a rocket to 3B on the first pitch he saw that Riley deftly one-hopped into a DP.
Ruf has been a disaster and 24-yr-old OF slugger callup Vientos has looked overmatched this month.
Alvarez is the Mets DH vs LHP now.
Meanwhile^2, the Mets traded for a DH against righties, who was doing pretty well in that role, but Alvarez wasn't pinch hit for.
